Recap of all 2013 moves and estimated current cap space.

Players restructuredGreg Olsen-Shuffled money around and saved 2.4 million for this year's cap but added to later yearsRyan Kalil -Shuffled money around and saved 3.45 million for this year cap but added to later yearsJordan Gross- Saved 6.8 million for this year for this years cap and add's 3.6 in future dead moneyHaruki Nakumara- Saved 500k for this yearJonathan Stewart-minor move that raised cap figure $200k, unsure of why we did this.

combining the restructure savings and the outright cuts = 22.7 million in total savings for 2013 Cap

Dead money committed to 2014 cap from these moves = 5.4 million...this does not include increased future cap figures for Kalil and Olsen from their restructures..didn't feel like looking up the specific's on them.

Estimated current cap room=7.636 million.*not including Edwards and Blackburn signings.(PFT said we had $936,00 before the Gross Savings of 6.8 million and accounting for the Dwan Edwards and Chase Blackburn signings)

Cap room will also jump 2.8 million after June 1st once James Anderson cut hits the books.

Lastly the Rookie pool for our 13 Rookie class is expected to cost us around 4 million.

There is still time but my guess is they feel with hardy, cj, alexander and keiser we have enough pass rushers. Thats 4 de we will only carry one more into the season so most likely they are saving the last spot for a rookie ala what we did with keiser and alexander the past two years.

So how much do you think the Blackburn + Dwan contracts will cost this year? Let's say they cost a bit more than 3 mil this year, we will only have 2 point something million left. Now I expect D'Will to take a pay cut unless he wants to be released (it's still a decent option). It's not like other teams will be willing to pay him that much either.

Since March 12th. This board had me convinced he was not a free agent either when I made referenve to it a whole ago.However, several sources show he is a free agent. In addition panthers.com roster page is very up to date and he's nowhere on there.

"The good news for the Panthers is that the list of their own free agents includes only three starters – defensive tackle Dwan Edwards, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and safety Sherrod Martin, who ended last season on injured reserve with torn knee ligaments and is not expected to be re-signed.Gettleman, who was unavailable for comment last week, said at his introductory press conference that he planned to evaluate the roster with an unbiased eye."http://www.charlotte...l#storylink=rss

I think the only way to get rid of D-Will is to make him a June first cut. Trading or cutting him regular would be too big a hit. I guess he could rework his contract to facilitate a trade, but I don't know how realistic that is.

I'd re-sign Neblett if we dont take a first or second round DT, hes been nothing but solid for us and if we get him for close to vet min thats good enough for me. Maybe another look at Sherrod Martin if his healing is going well, he was in the dog house but played pretty strong and made some strides last season before he got hurt. Didnt seem to hesitate at all and absolutely flew to the ball.

Can't ever have enough pass rushers.Who's behind CJ and Hardy? Kieser and Alexander. Not sure how many playing time theyll be gettin. Someone always end up in Chico's dog pound.

yes you can. only so many spots on the roster.

and keiser and esp. alexander are plenty good enough depth. i figure we'd only go into the season with 4 DEs on the 53 man roster anyway.

i could see us getting maybe one more, esp. for camp bodies, but i don't see it as any kind of priority. the most we need to have on the DL all together is 9 and we'll probably be going with 4-5 DTs just for a solid rotation.

there's no rush and it's nothing that needs to be addressed prior to the draft like other positions with limited cap space. any DEs added will likely be heading into training camp.
